Just got back from the theater....A very good documentary or what ever you want to consider it. I laughed ALOT which actually in itself is kind of sad. I also cried a little. Did I walk away angry? maybe a little. What did I learn that I didn't know before? The extent of the Bush family and their ties to the Bin Ladens and Saudi Arabia. If we don't question this as citizens of this country then we live with the consequences. If what Michael Moore says is untrue than why don't they sue him??? I have heard nothing from them at all. After seeing this movie I was surprised that the best argument that I have seen that this movie is made up is the part about the senator and his son being in the military. With so much to work with and that is the BIG LIE you all come up with??? Have I missed something while being on vacation??? To many funny parts to go into but one of my favorites was the scene with Ashcroft running aganist the Dead Guy in Missouri and losing. As a proud Missourian I can tell you that was sooooo true and everyone in the theater clapped at that part. But do not fear Republicans I think the hype is pretty much over, the theater was half empty. Also I will add that Michael Moore did not let the
democrats off easy either. He made it perfectly clear that they took it up the back side on the 2000 election. I understand that their hands were tied with what happened in Florida and this country could not afford to be without a Government while they fought the injustices that were done but it still painful to watch. For anyone reading this who is still not sure who to vote for, go see this movie and when you walk out think about why the Bush family is not defending themselves aganist this so call "Fictional" movie.
Let me ad that I am NOT a Michael Moore fan and have never seen his work before. The fact is that News Footage does not lie, paper trails don't lie the actual words spoken by this President don't lie...Any time the Bush family wants to discredit what was said.....I'll be waiting....

That's like me commenting on how cr@ppy the outside of your house is just because your neighbor says it is. How can I be sure if I have never seen it for myself???

I agree with your opinion of the film. I cried too at the raw grief of the Iraqi people.
My condolences to you for your loss.
Are you suggesting because I didn't see the movie, I am not able to post an article pertaining to the deceit in this movie?
Ofcourse you can post an article about someone else's opinion, but that isn't your opinion. It's second hand info. about the
I didn't read all of the "59 deceits" so maybe the writer finished up better than he started, but out of the first 30 or so that I did read I only agreed with about one and a half.

>"cannot comment on anything thats going on in Iraq since you are not there"<
On this subject we are on an equal footing......... we form an opinion from various news sources or people we know. I haven't been to Iraq, don't believe anyone that posts has, but if they had & I thought they were credible I would take their word.
I see a lot of movies but, my interest was peaked by all of the "hype" surrounding Fahrenheit 9/11. No one has forced anyone to see this movie, go if you want to or don't. It's up to you.
There was nothing in the movie that I hadn't already heard or read. DH and I make a point of reviewing many sources from all points of view and try to keep an open mind. I freely admit I have no love loss for G W Bush. Fahrenheit 9/11 left an impression, but did not change my perspective.
The movie made me laugh and cry. I closed my eyes to avoid looking at some of the disturbing parts and felt pain for the mother who lost her son. As another poster stated I would have preferred a little less screen time for that mother, but I don't know if that was because of my own discomfort with the situation or not.
I can't say I "enjoyed" the movie, but it did make me remember a few things I had conveniently forgotten.
"I don't know if that was because of my own discomfort"
I felt uncomfortable too. Not
